No, I think the & operator sets the time back to the bar line, so this should be A=G d=b (bar doesn't add up) and g=F.
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
I don't saw the (& ... & ... &) construct in the standard, but only in the abcm2ps documentation files (features.txt and sample3.abc). The standard only describes the & operator.
From the abcm2ps files, I could unterstand that the (& ... & ... &) construct is designed for *multiple bars* overlay. Please note that otherwise the tokens (& and &) were useless. However, in my opinion (consonant with Phil Taylor opinion), using (& ... & ... &) makes the source very difficult to read, and that's why I never used it.

P.S. In the file sample3.abc (from abcm2ps) there are some &&, but (using that program) they have the same effect of the simple &. I cannot understand it neither.
